Social knitting

I am not the most social person in the world. I believe that knitting is changing that. Tonight I go to knitting with a wonderful group of women. We usually meet at a LYS but we have decided to change things up and meet at a coffee house. This pushes me in two different ways. Number 1... I am going to a place that I am not familiar with. Number 2... I am meeting with women that I am still in the process of getting to know.

When knitting in public I always have something to do or, at the least, something to talk to others about. It takes a little bit of the pressure off of having to make small talk. I'm not a fan of small talk. It's easier to handle the chit chat when my hands are busy I guess.

Sunday will be my One Year Knitting Anniversary! I am so glad I learned to knit and that I have been able to meet so many great people that I would not have had the opportunity to meet other wise. Who knew knitting would be the new social anxiety medication... Wonder if the FDA would approve that statement.

I know what you mean… I could so easily sit in my apartment and knit all night by myself. I always feel better when I get back from my Sit & Knit. The girls are lovely and every time I go, I get to know them a little more. It's a great thing and to get to know great people that have the same passion from knitting is wonderful! :)
